Workload Indicator of Staffing Need (WISN)

The Workload Indicator of Staffing Need (WISN) is a tool used to assess how many staff members are needed in healthcare settings based on the actual workload they face. It considers factors like the volume of patients and services provided to determine if there are enough workers to meet demand. By analyzing this information, WISN helps healthcare managers make informed decisions about hiring and resource allocation, ensuring that facilities are adequately staffed to provide quality care without unnecessary strain on employees. Ultimately, it aims to improve health services and outcomes for patients.
